Link Feature

The Link Feature in the NG Extension Manager (Chrome Extension) is a powerful tool designed to protect users from unsafe links and protocols. This feature ensures a safer browsing experience by preventing accidental access to insecure or malicious content. Here's a detailed explanation:


πŸ”’ Blocked Protocols

The NG Extension Manager blocks certain protocols to prevent users from accessing potentially harmful resources. If you attempt to open a URL with one of these protocols, you will see the error:
"The URL you are trying to access uses an unsafe protocol."

Blocked Protocols List:

  • chrome:
  • chrome-extension:
  • chrome-devtools:
  • about:
  • javascript:
  • data:
  • file:
  • ftp:
  • mailto:
  • view-source:
  • ws:
  • wss:
  • smb:
  • sftp:
  • telnet:
  • gopher:
  • nntp:
  • news:
  • irc:
  • ircs:

This restriction is in place to safeguard your browser and personal information. We do not check websites, but if the link does not contain https://, we will warn you about that too.


πŸ”— External Link Confirmation

Whenever you click on an external link, the Link Feature prompts a confirmation dialog to ensure you intentionally want to navigate to the linked page. This protects against unintended redirects or phishing attempts.

How It Works:

  1. When you click a link, a popup appears, asking:
    "Do you want to proceed to this external page?"
  2. You have two options:
    • Confirm: Proceed to the external link.
    • Cancel: Stay on the current page.

This feature ensures that you maintain control over your browsing actions.


βœ… Verified Domains

The NG Extension Manager includes a Verified Domain system to identify and promote trusted websites.

Features:

  • "This domain is verified as safe."
    • This message is displayed when you visit a domain listed as verified in the extension's database.
  • Domain Verification Process:
    • If you want your website or extension to be verified, submit a request to NGDE@WEB.DE (Nitra Global). Verified domains are periodically reviewed and updated for security compliance.

πŸ’Ύ Save Verified Domains

The extension allows you to save verified domains to your personal list.

Benefits:

  • For links containing saved verified domains, you will no longer need to confirm navigation.
  • This streamlines your browsing experience without compromising security.
